Lincoln Center, Noon on October 20th, 2021. Our traditional hosting of the State of the University address continues this year, with Colorado State University President Joyce McConnell joining us for our in-person meeting Wednesday noon at the Lincoln Center. She will be introduced by Kirvin Knox. Historically, the President reviews the current status of the university, including new programs and issues facing the university and the university community. Dr. McConnell is Colorado State University’s 15th President and first woman to lead Colorado’s land-grant institution. She is on record as being committed to the mission and success of land grant institutions, equity in education and in the workplace, and the preservation and protection of our environment.
Last week on 10/13/2021, fellow Rotarian Judge Juan Villaseñor provided a primer on the Colorado Judicial Branch, described the effects COVID has had on operations and warned us that understaffing combined with exponential growth in Larimer and Weld Counties will result in longer resolution of cases.
Our Zoom meeting on October 6 hosted Patrice M. Palmer (they/them/theirs) who works in the area of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) at both Colorado State University (Director of Social & Cultural Inclusion, College of Business) and New Belgium Brewing Company (DEI specialist). Patrice was introduced by RCFC member Juan Villasenor who met Patrice in several on-line forums and was impressed by the fact that they thought deeply about their inclusivity subject matter.
